This week on Hit me with your best shot, we looked at “The Woman in the Window”. This 1944 film is a film noir classic that keeps you in suspense all the way through. In addition, I was also tickled by the humour of it, particularly during the investigation scenes with the lead actor (Edward G. Robinson). The poor guy was ridden with guilt and made countless slip-ups. My favourite scene involves this character right at the end of the movie. A woman asks him if he has a cigarette lighter and he replies…
"No, oh no. Thank you indeed. Not for a million dollars!”
With the “woman in the window” right there reminding him of the nightmare he had been through, can you blame the guy for being rude? Lesson learned –beautiful women are nothing but trouble!

Indeed they are. I felt like this movie was a reowkring of "The Wizard of Oz" in a way, with the "there's no place like home" theme being the most prevalent.
